I’m in one of my favourite places on one of my favourite days. I Love my open mic, I Love Thursdays. I’m wearing my favourite shirt. Happy Bejeesus Day from the Jackelope!!! A little guitar porn for you. Eileen Korn was the feature last week at Java Mammas. She was cool and even hip and…

I’ve been stopped up for writing, lately. I wrote a song about three months ago, but that’s been it. Not even something to work on since. I can’t, and shouldn’t, be writing about myself right now. So I needed someone to start feeding me ideas … and then I needed what the journalist in me…
